Business Plan and Branch Office
… One day.
Maryne called for Asha.
Inside the office room of the company headquarters.
Asha arrived after being summoned.
“Miss Asha, I would like to hand this over to you.”
What Maryne handed her was the cosmetics business plan.
Three sheets of paper with the outline of the business written on them.
“A business plan…? Yumia told me you made one for the sweets business as well.”
Asha accepted the documents and opened the cover page.
And then…
She froze.
“……”
She devoured the pages with her eyes.
Product lineup.
Breakdown of production costs.
Supply routes. Target customer selection. Employee hiring plans.
All the important information was thoroughly written down.
Even from a quick read, she could tell it was an incredible business plan, carefully thought out down to the smallest detail.
“Did you… write all of this by yourself?”
“Yes.”
“…… I can hardly believe it.”
That an eight-year-old child had written such a flawless business plan…
Asha felt something terrifying about Maryne.
“……!”
At that moment…
Asha’s eyes stopped on a particular section as she continued reading.
“There’s a plan here to open a store in the ‘Secondary Capital.’”
“Yes. This Count’s capital only has a population of around fifty thousand, and very few nobles. Meanwhile, the Secondary Capital is the second-largest city in the kingdom. It has many noble estates, and social gatherings are held there frequently. The cosmetics business will primarily operate there.”
The number of wealthy people staying in the Count’s capital was limited.
Since Maryne’s products targeted noble ladies, there was no point doing business somewhere nobles rarely gathered.
Eventually, Asha finished reading the business plan.
Maryne spoke.
“Now then, we shall proceed according to this plan. Miss Asha, I will entrust the preparations for opening the store in the Secondary Capital to you.”
“Yes! I’ll see it through no matter what!”
Asha answered firmly.

From this point on, Maryne’s actions accelerated even further.
First came preparations for the store in the Secondary Capital.
She secured the best possible prime location in the city.
A beautiful two-story building.
Asha traveled to the Secondary Capital and handled the interior construction arrangements and employee recruitment.
“Please prioritize luxury above all else for the store interior. Use white and gold as the main colors, and keep the lighting soft. I want customers to feel the moment they walk in that ‘this is a special place.’ Create that kind of atmosphere.”
Maryne’s instructions were so specific that they made things easy for Asha to direct.
Furthermore, Maryne decided to establish a company office in the Secondary Capital as well.
She asked Rhinos.
“I would like an office there too, so please search for suitable properties.”
“Understood.”
Rhinos finished the task swiftly.
In less than a week, they had established an office branch in the Secondary Capital.
It was a separate building from the cosmetics store, a three-story property.
- The first floor was the reception area and meeting rooms.
- The second floor was the office workspace.
- The third floor was Maryne’s private quarters.
This company office would serve as Maryne’s base whenever she came to the Secondary Capital.
(After all, I can come here anytime with Fast Travel.)
No one besides Maryne was allowed onto the top floor of the company office without permission.
That way, she would be able to teleport without anyone seeing her use Fast Travel.
